Penalty catalog

Version 25.03


I. Games Not Played:


The regular season is divided into four parts, and there are four review dates by which each GM must have completed a specified number of games. If they fall below this number, they will receive penalty points.


Offense Penalty
1st Review (Fewer than 7 games) 2 penalty points
2nd Review (Fewer than 14 games) 2 penalty points
3rd Review (Fewer than 21 games) 2 penalty points
4th Review (Fewer than 29* games) 2 penalty points


* During the final review, the Executive sets a minimum number of games for the season. This is the minimum number of games needed to achieve DYNE+ and avoid penalties. This is usually around 27, but can be higher or lower depending on the season.

If a GM makes an effort to play games but only receives constant rejections, he must notify the Exe in a timely manner, provide evidence, and may receive a more lenient penalty. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis.



II. In-Game Rule Violations:


If a player violates the Fairness Guide, he will receive a penalty. Generally speaking, every GM should ensure that the game is played as fairly and realistically as possible. The aim is for both players to enjoy the game.


Offense Penalty
Violation of the General Guidelines 1-2 penalty points, determined by the Exe
Intentional quitting 4 penalty points and a score of 20:0 for the opponent
Detectable in-game cheating Immediate exclusion from the league



III. Out-of-Game Rule Violations:

GMs (or coaches) also have duties outside of the game. This includes, for example, entering results and stats or maintaining a good tone, etc.


Offense Penalty
Winner forgets to save stats 1 Strafpunkt
Failure to enter game in the doc 1 Strafpunkt
Game not posted 1 Strafpunkt (für den Sieger)
Insults (forum/chat) 1-2 Strafpunkte



IV. Management Rule Violations:

Penalties for Management Errors.


Offense Penalty
Exceeding the salary cap Reversion, 1 penalty point
Exceeding the maximum roster spots Player is released (contract counts as a cap penalty), 1 penalty point
Failing short of minimum roster spots (season) Assignment of a FA with the worst OVRL rating with an 8/2 contract, 1 penalty point



V. Effects of Penalty Points:

The penalty catalog shows the effects of penalty points.


Penalty Points in total Penalty
12 or more penalty points Elimination from the league
9 - 11 penalty points Elimination from the playoffs & trade ban & loss of the hard cap
6 - 8 penalty points Elimination from the playoffs & trade ban & loss of the HE
3 - 5 penalty points Loss of the HE
0 - 2 penalty points No penalty



VI. Reducing penalty points:

You can reduce penalty points at the end of the season through "good deeds."


Action Bonus
Minimum number of DYNE+ games -2 penalty points
Updating stats -1 penalty point
Voting for all awards -1 penalty point


If a GM reaches the minimum number of games required for DYNE+ at the end of the season, two penalty points will be waived.

If all stats are completed by the end of the regular season, one penalty point will be waived.

If both points are reached, the GM may also choose two DYNE+ bonuses.


Anyone who has voted for all awards by the end of the awards season (MVP election) will have one penalty point deducted
